Aim:
To give basic proficiency in mathematical concepts, reasoning and relations contained in single-variable calculus. To provide the skills in calculus and problem solving required for subsequent studies. After a completed course, the student should be able to
- read and interpret mathematical text
- quote and explain definitions of concepts like local extremum, limit, continuity, derivative, antiderivative and integral
- quote, explain and use central theorems such as the first and second fundamental theorem of calculus, the mean value theorems, the intermediate value theorem, the extreme value theorem
- use rules for limits, derivatives, antiderivatives and integrals
- carry out examinations of functions, e.g., using derivatives, limits and the properties of the elementary functions, and by that means draw conclusions concerning the properties of functions
- use standard techniques in order to determine antiderivatives and definite integrals
- investigate improper integrals with antiderivatives
- compare sums and integrals
- perform routine calculations with confidence
- carry out inspections of results and partial results, in order to verify that these are correct or reasonable
